the WHY "Right Way"

Steve’s Story:

He has always been observant. This habit helped him observe the market when he was just a teenager. When he was a high school student, he analyzed how the online world was expanding with various ventures.

He founded TexZus Capital Ventures, a marketing agency, in 2004. In 2013, his company provided strategic marketing that facilitated a small startup, Nutra, to scale immensely. The company reached revenue over $20M in its first year in business.

In 2012, he founded PrimalLabs to serve people with natural health information along with supplements. It's a rapidly growing company. It was listed two times on the Inc 5000s fastest growing companies list.

In 2013, he co-founded Ultimate Survival Strategies. It is a business that aids its customers in handling the following 5 pillars of survival: defense, food, power, shelter, and water. In 2016, he started a brewing company. To say Steve is a serial entrepreneur is an understatement! Here are some takeaways from the interview with Steve.

Start analyzing earlier:

He not only started analyzing businesses early but also started working early, as a student. He graduated in 2002 and already had a few years experience working online. When he graduated, he immediately had job offers.

Make life predictable by controlling what you do:

According to him, it makes life easier when you make your purpose and passion your career. Founding a company may be an easy task but running it successfully requires a lot of work in the right direction. "Don’t be so serious" and "don’t be so impatient." Those were the words he often heard growing up from well-meaning family and friends. But as any entrepreneur knows, his focus and a sense of urgency are what ultimately pushed his goals forward.
